group of ACT UP New York during the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Staging self-
initiated actions, and also participating in larger demonstrations organized by ACT UP,
Art+Positive practiced an improvisational approach to activism at the intersection of the
AIDS crisis and the culture wars of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their multiplatform
projects were especially focused on fighting AIDS phobia, censorship, homophobia,
misogyny, and racism within the art world. Members, collaborators, and contributors to
Art+Positive included artists Lola Flash, Nan Goldin, Aldo Hernández, Zoe Leonard, Ray
Navarro, Hunter Reynolds, Catherine (Saalfield) Gunn, Julie Tolentino, and David
Wojnarowicz.
The Art+Positive archives, assembled by Hunter Reynolds in the mid-1990s, were out of
public view for more than twenty years. Art collector and HIV/AIDS researcher Dr. Daniel
Berger acquired the group’s archives in early 2015. Shortly thereafter, he and artist John Neff
presented an exhibition of the archives at Iceberg Projects, Chicago. Militant Eroticism: The
ART+Positive Archives documents that exhibition and is extensively illustrated with
artworks, documents, protest ephemera, and meeting notes from the Art+Positive archives.
Also included are essays by Berger, Neff, and former ACT UP member and scholar Debra
Levine. These essays are presented alongside previously unpublished writings by Ray
Navarro, Hunter Reynolds, and David Wojnarowicz. |
